Significance of Monocyte Counts at Recurrence on Survival Outcome of Women With Endometrial Cancer.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are known to have adverse effects on the survival of women with endometrial cancer. Because monocytes function as progenitors of macrophages, this study examined the association between monocyte count at the first recurrence/progression of endometrial cancer and survival time after recurrence/progression (SAR). METHODS:This is a retrospective study evaluating 141 consecutive cases of recurrent endometrial cancer after surgical staging (n = 114) and progression after nonsurgical management (n = 27). Complete blood cell counts with cell differentiation at the time of the first recurrence/progression were correlated to SAR. RESULTS:Median time of SAR was 7.8 months, and there were 97 (68.8%) patients who died from endometrial cancer with 1-, 2-, and 5-year SAR rates being 51.0%, 32.9%, and 14.2%, respectively. Median monocyte counts at recurrence/progression were 0.5 × 10/L. The strongest correlation to monocyte counts was seen in neutrophil counts (r = 0.57, P < 0.01) followed by platelet counts (r = 0.43, P < 0.01). An elevated monocyte count at recurrence/progression was significantly associated with decreased SAR (hazard ratio per unit, 3.97; 95% confidence interval, 2.00-7.90; P < 0.01). On multivariate analysis controlling for patient demographics, complete blood cell counts, tumor factors, and treatment types for recurrent/progressed disease, higher monocyte counts at recurrence/progression remained an independent predictor for decreased SAR (hazard ratio per unit, 3.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.52-6.67; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Our study demonstrated that the increased monocyte counts at recurrence/progression may be a useful biomarker for predicting decreased survival outcome of women with endometrial cancer.

Project description:Background/aimRecent studies have suggested that periportal location of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considered as one of the independent risk factors for local tumor progression (LTP). However, the long-term therapeutic outcomes of percutaneous RFA as the first-line therapy for single periportal HCCand corresponding impacts on tumor recurrence or progression are still unclear.Materials and methodsFrom February 2011 to October 2020, a total of 233 patients with single nodular HCC ≤ 5 cm who underwent RFA ± transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) as first-line therapy was enrolled and analyzed, including 56 patients in the periportal group and 177 patients in the nonperiportal group. The long-term therapeutic outcomes between the two groups were compared, risk factors of tumor recurrence or progression were evaluated.ResultsThe LTP rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were significantly higher in the periportal group than those in the nonperiportal group (15.7, 33.7, and 46.9% vs 6.0, 15.7, and 28.7%, respectively, P = 0.0067). The 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates in the periportal group were significantly worse than those in the nonperiportal group (81.3, 65.1 and 42.9% vs 99.3, 90.4 and 78.1%, respectively, P<0.0001). In the subgroup of single HCC ≤ 3 cm, patients with periportal HCC showed significantly worse LTP P = 0.0006) and OS (P<0.0001) after RFA than patients with single nonperiportal HCC; The univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that tumor size, periportal HCC and AFP ≥ 400ug/ml were independent prognostic factors for tumor progression after RFA. Furthermore, patients with single periportal HCC had significantly higher risk for IDR(P = 0.0012), PVTT(P<0.0001) and extrahepatic recurrence(P = 0.0010) after RFA than those patients with single nonperiportal HCC. .ConclusionThe long-term therapeutic outcomes of RFA as the first-line therapy for single periportal HCC were worse than those for single nonperiportal HCC, an increased higher risk of tumor recurrence or progression after RFA was significantly associated with periportal HCC.
